Biver introduces two new references to its Automatique collection: one in solid 18K yellow gold, and an avant-garde Atelier Series Carbon Edition.
Despite being a time-only watch, this deceptively simple line is anything but. Here, the hands alone have four interior angles that must be shaped and polished by hand, while the 39mm case’s concave surfaces seemingly bend light around the wearer’s wrist.
The Automatique Yellow Gold is crafted from 18K 3N yellow gold case features brushed and polished finishes, giving a warmth that reflects the natural beauty of the precious metal.
The dial’s texture is enhanced with vertically brushed outer and inner rings, plus a circular-grained centre ring, echoing classic vintage aesthetics. Contrasting applied indices and chemin de fer complete the elegant layout.
It is styled with a soft black nubuck leather strap with a matching yellow gold pin buckle.
Elsewhere, the Carbon Edition adds a sportier twist, combining a yellow gold case with a carbon fibre dial accented by a circular-grained gold ring.
With this model, the woven carbon texture shifts with the light, creating an iridescent effect under gold indices and hands.
This model comes on a matching black braided rubber strap lined with leather.
Both watches are powered by the in-house Calibre JCB.003-C, a high-performance automatic movement featuring a 22K gold bi-directional micro-rotor, 65-hour power reserve, 80-metre water resistance, and a zero-reset seconds function.
Decorated to the highest standards, the movement is visible through the sapphire display back.
The Automatique Yellow Gold is priced at CHF 75,000, while the Atelier Series Carbon Edition is CHF 89,000.
